Peanut Butter Quesadillas

I realize I may have lost some of you with the title of this post. Sorry for that. A few days ago I reconnected with a childhood friend on Facebook. We were reminiscing about one of her mother's signature dishes, peanut butter pizza. This got me thinking of the peanut butter/cheese combination, and thus, these quesadillas were born. These were stick-to-your-ribs yummy in a "that's interesting" yummy sort of way. I'm sending this over to Nick, the Peanut Butter Boy, for his Great Peanut Butter Exhibition. If you're brave enough to try these, let me know what you think!

Peanut Butter Quesadillas by Joie de vivre

Serves 1

Ingredients:

2 Flour tortillas

1 Tbls. peanut butter

1/4 cup shredded mozzerella cheese

Directions:

1. Spread the peanut butter on one of the tortillas. Lay the tortilla on a griddle. Place the griddle over low heat. Sprinkle the mozzerella cheese on top of the peanut butter and top with the other tortilla.

2. Occasionally check the bottom of the tortilla by lifting carefully with a spatula. When it is beginning to brown, flip the quesadilla over to the other side. Cook until lightly browned on both sides and cheese is melted.

I don't know if I'd be brave enough to make these, but if somebody else made them, I'd definitely try it! Sounds very interesting! I love cheese and I love peanut butter and I love quesadillas, so maybe I would like it! :)

I would probably eat these! Years ago, when I did my version of the Atkins diet (w/my dad), we'd take American cheese slices and put PB on them at eat them for snacks. And I loved them!!! I hope they were as good as you remembered the PB Pizza! It's fun to enjoy foods of your youth.

you know, i have a feeling that these are really good. i've made pizza with peanut butter where i put the pb on the dough, then sauce, then cheese, and it was awesome.

i'm glad you are just as obsessed with twilight as i am!! i plan on reading the series again once school is out because i devoted way too much time to that a few months ago and not enough with homework. but can you blame me?? they are soo good!!
